But the royal family?
They have to follow somevery strict ruleswhen it comes to their attire especially Princess Catherine of Wales.
She has her lilac Roksanda Ilincic dress.
Has Catherine’s obsession with the dress had an effect on its sales?
During the visit, Catherine wore a dress that made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
What was wrong with her dress?
It wasn’t too short, too revealing, or even unflattering.
It was just a simple sundress that was made in a different country.
Princess Catherine fell victim to ever-changing rules at an event in 2016.
She wore a custom Catherine Walker dress to thequeen’s 90th birthday serviceat St. Paul’s Cathedral in London.
The dress in question was powder blue with ivory lace applique trailing down its front.
Why are the princess' knees so terrible to behold?
The queen herself reportedly enacted a new longer hemline rule in the winter of 2014.
Luckily, British and Australian news agencies refused to publish the pictures of Catherine and her embarrassing moment.
Not cool, Germany.
Yes, that actually happened.
The body-hugging, nylon-like dress revealed only a black bra and underwear set definitely not palace-approved.
Her future husband Prince William didn’t seem to mind.
He was sitting front row during the fashion show.
I knew there was possibly something that I wanted to explore there."
Did her bare-all dress have something to do with the prince’s infatuation?
Who knows for sure … but it certainly didn’t hurt.
Luckily for us average people, forgetting a little toenail polish isn’t the end of the world.
Princess Catherine is not a normal person.
She visited India and Bhutan with Prince William in April 2016.
The incident also called Catherine’s foot health into question.
you might also see the fourth and fifth toes deviate towards the center of the foot."
But if you’re a public figure, wearing fur can be downright controversial.
PETA U.K. was quick to criticize the duchess for her “fur” pas.
Mimi Bekhechi, the director of PETA U.K., said in a statement toE!
Catherine is definitely not the first royal to wear fur (Queen Elizabethherself wasknown to wear leopard coats).
But, after all this drama, she might be the last.
But what happens when another member of the royal family also shows up in a bold hue?
The Daily Mail might have a point.
It doesn’t seem like a good idea to outshine the queen.
She was, after all, the queen.
Kate Middleton rocks skinny jeans, but is that inappropriate for a royal?
It’s hard to imagine a time before skinny jeans.
But, for Princess Catherine, skintight pants might be forever in the past.
But what does the royal dress code say about skintight denim?
Seems we might have seen the last of Catherine’s skinny jeans.
Where was her husband-to-be during her disco romp?
Princess Catherine seemed to have found a workaround, though, in the form of chic wedges.
Take, for example, her tour of Australia and New Zealand in the spring of 2014.
There was hardly a day when the princess wasn’t walking around in wedges.
But Catherine’s beloved wedges have disappeared.
The queen might have something to do with it.
What the queen wanted, the queen got.
Catherine has switched up her footwear to feature timeless and still somewhat comfortable low-heeled pumps.
This isn’t the first time she’s worn pants instead of a skirt.
Her sister-in-lawMeghan Markleis also known to favor slacks and pantsuits.
APeoplearticle in 2018 interviewed a royal source regarding the pant problem.
The source revealed that “the queen prefers women in dresses or skirts rather than trouser suits.”
However, in 2016, a very un-royal scandal came to light surrounding the famed Alexander McQueen bridal gown.
Despite the drama, Catherine has continued to wear Alexander McQueen pieces proudly.
As reported byThe Independent, royal fans were very disappointed by Catherine’s wardrobe during her trip.
The Independent went on to write that “whoever is advising the Duchess of Cambridge should be sacked.”
Poor Catherine can’t win.
Indeed, she was caught sporting a pair of low-rise blue jeans, adorned with a thick leather belt.
She matched this ensemble with a white, lacy tank top that revealed a bit of her midriff.
As explained in the documentary"William & Kate: Too Good To Be True?
Interestingly, it seems, Catherine eventually made inroads with these people by revamping her wardrobe.
A kind of restraint.
A kind of modesty, almost."
That being said, princes and princesses aren’t expected to go on tour to have a good time.
Elizabeth apparently felt this could save Catherine from further embarrassment.
Wearing a two-piece navy suit accentuated with gorgeous white floral patterns, the royal shone.
Her wide-brimmed hat sported an adorable bow that made her look regal.
The only problem with the outfit?
Critics called it out for being too expensive.
For some members of the public, this made the ensemble a little bit too pricey to be appropriate.
However, it soon became clear that Catherine’s Order of the Garter get-up was a brand-new dress.
And, the following summer, she proceeded to don the “Polka-dot Silk Midi Dress in White/Black.”
In other words, she wore two dresses that looked almost exactly the same.
Unfortunately for the princess, this left her critics feeling absolutely incensed.
From their perspective, the money that she spent on the second dress was wasteful.
It could even come across as flaunting her moneyed status during a time of national financial strain.
In that sense, Catherine’s outfit was totally inappropriate and a little insensitive.
